Before Thanksgiving, I was working on a hat commissioned by our former metro editor, Caryn Shinske, for her best friend, Jay Jefferson Cooke. Jay had been bugging me to make him this hat, but Caryn had already commissioned me, so I kept telling him he’d have to wait until after I got all my Christmas presents knitted.

Here's the tobaggon hat I made for Caryn Shinkske to give to her best friend, Jay Jefferson Cooke.

I don’t have a photo of him wearing the hat, but before I gave it to Caryn a few weeks ago, I did take a photo of it. The hearts and the “AG” on there have nothing to do with an attorney general. Jay always called Caryn’s mom “Aunt Gail” and Aunt Gail was supposed to make him this hat, but she got ill and never had the chance to make it before she passed on. So Caryn had me embroider the hearts and initials there, and if Jay doesn’t want them to show, he can fold the cuff up and cover them up.
